What fancies me this week has been this Casio Label-Biz CD/DVD Title Printer from Deals Direct. From Deals Direct’s description:

This CASIO Label-Biz CD/DVD Printer is the perfect tool for your home or office. It allows you to perfectly title your CDs and DVDs with CASIO’s Advanced Disc Title Printing Technology without compromising your discs integrity. It comes with a QWERTY keyboard for stand-alone operation as well as a USB connection for easy hook-up to your PC.

However, after a bit of investigation, it appears that the product Deals Direct is selling is Casion CW-L300 Label-Biz Disc Title Printer. First of all, it is cool that it prints on CD/DVD — something that all geeks need. I am having heaps of DVD-Rs and CD-Rs backing up my valuable data (after heaps of disasters over the years), and I need to label them. Current I just use my trusty permanent marker, but if I have this Casio label printer, even my backup discs can look professional.

Secondly, it also doubles up as a label printer. You can buy those cut and eel sticky labels (OfficeWorks sells them), print your name on it, and stick them on everything to claim ownership. We actually have a much-simpler Brother unity at home which we used to label all our daughter‘s belongings, and found it almost essential when you have little kids who always lost stuff.

And it is not a feature-poor labellers like the Dyno you buy from Coles — it has a full QWERTY keyboard, printable in 14 languages, lots of memory, and can be connected to your PC via an USB cable.

I think we’ll buy something like this, if we haven’t already got our Brothers. It’s cheap at Deals Direct — $139 + $9 delivery. RRP is $249, but on Casio’s website RRP is USD$199 (which is around AUD$262).

Here’s another tip using Deals Direct’s website: view clearance bargain bin sorted by biggest saving %. Now, I don’t think I am interested in 28 copies of Long Way ‘Til You Drop, but I believe there will be some items that make you go wow.
